'IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTONS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,811, dated J nne 24, 1879; application filed November 4, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL W. SHonEY, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Buttons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a button with a metallic fastening that may readily be applied to boots, shoes, and other articles without the use of a machine, and as easily removed without the loss of any part.

My invention consists in attaching to an eye-button a screw-eye provided with a nut of suitable size, to correspond with the goods to which the button is to be attached. I prefer to make the nut with a shank of sufficient length to pass through the fabric.

My invention is more fully set forth in the it for attachment to boots, shoes, and other articles, substantially in the manner and for the purposes specified.

SAMUEL W. SHOREY.
